Description
Rishi Sunak's remarkable journey from unknown junior minister to Chancellor of the Exchequer is told in this first biography. From his parents' pharmacy to Oxford University and the top of British politics, Michael Ashcroft charts Sunak's ascent against the backdrop of modern history's greatest economic crisis. The story follows a super-bright and hard-grafting son of immigrant parents who marries an Indian heiress and makes a fortune of his own. He becomes a polished urban southerner who wins over rural North Yorkshire voters, yet also a cautious, fiscally conservative financier who takes bold action to save Britain's economy. Within weeks of being unexpectedly promoted in February 2020, Sunak faced the daunting task of spreading investment and opportunity as part of Boris Johnson's 'levelling up' agenda. The coronavirus pandemic had sent Britain into lockdown, with thousands of firms in peril and millions of jobs on the line. This biography reveals how he tore up the rulebook and went for broke to save livelihoods.
